CopilotKit releases OpenBot 1.0 agent workbench
Understand this story
On November 9, CopilotKit released OpenBot 1.0, an MIT-licensed, open-source, self-hostable agent workbench that lets enterprises bring their own models, agents, and infrastructure. Each Bot has its own dedicated container and Chromium browser; browser clicks, file writes, and MCP tool calls are all first validated by a CEL policy gateway and written to audit records; deny rules take precedence, and when a rule errors, the default is to deny. On pricing: personal projects are free; OpenBot for Business costs up to $29 per active user per month, with a 5% surcharge only on model spending exceeding $5,000 per month. Versions for iOS, Android, Slack (via OpenTag), and Microsoft Teams are in early access.

CopilotKit released OpenBot 1.0 on November 9th, an MIT-licensed, self-hostable agent workspace where teams bring their own models, agents and infrastructure, and every Bot action is checked against a CEL policy through a single gateway before it runs. Each Bot gets its own container with a Chromium browser, logins and files, and any AG-UI agent plugs in, with support for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok and open models such as Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, Nemotron and Mistral. Personal use is free and runs locally, while the Business tier costs up to $29 per active user per month and adds SSO/SCIM, on-behalf-of tokens, spend limits, SIEM export and multi-tenancy.
